'Beneath You'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I really liked Discovery of Witches and loved Shadow of Night. I recently re-read them both before reading the final book, which was good, but the second one is still my fave.
DoW is pretty much love it or hate it. The first half is pretty slow, but I loved the world-building and the details of scholarly life in a library.

I really liked that part, and liked it less when it became all vampire witch romance intrigue etc. ...I may have missed the point of the book. :)

Wait what hello? Should I investigate these books?
Amy, I read Girl on the Train last week. And truly, I didn't like any of the characters, but I enjoyed it so much more than Gone Girl.
Yeah, no one is really likable, per se, but I have to know what happened. Hoping to finish it tonight.
I started A Discovery of Witches a while back and was bored with the beginning, but I'm going to give it another try at some point.

My favorite part of the whole book was the picture she draws of academia. Pretty spot on. I also love the Bishop family house.
I also loved the first part of A Discovery of Witches and the second half was fun in a different sort of way. Shadow of Night was ok, but the third book left me cold.
Having read the description for A Discovery of Witches, it sounds like the sort of thing I might like. But my to-be-read stack is nigh-overwhelming!
I'm re-reading Wolf Hall right now. Hilary Mantel continues to amaze.
I've got that on deck to read when I finish Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
So many books, so little time
